CHARLES A. COOLEY, OF MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 401,416, dated April16, 1889. Application filed October 11, 1888. Serial No. 287,835. (Nomodel.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, CHARLES A. COOLEY, a citizen of the United States,residing in Montreal, Province of Quebec, Canada, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Combined Lamp Shades or Reflectors andGuards, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to a combined device serving as a reflector orshade and guard or protector for incandescent or other lamps.

The object of the invention is to provide a device of this nature whichby slight manipulation maybe adjusted to the lamp, dispensing with theusual complicated operation of first securing the shade upon the lampand then adjusting the guard. The construction of the lamp and socket isnot always such as to facilitate or offer means for attaching a shadeand holder as separate devices to the same, whereas there is usuallyaccommodation for one of them. By using my device any lamp may beequipped with both the reflector and guard by making a singleconnection.

The device is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1represents a side elevation of the device attached to a lamp, and Fig. 2a section of the device without the lamp.

A represents the portion constituting the shade or reflector. This maybe of any improved form or design; but it is preferably made of metaland provided with a polished reflecting interior surface.

B is a wire cage or guard, which may also be of any desired pattern. Theupper end of the guard is secured to the reflector by turning back theends of the wires of the guard and soldering them in place; or the endsof the wires may be secured by small screws.

The reflector is formed with a central opening large enough to allow thelamp-globe to pass through the same into the cage, and the cage isplaced immediately in front of or beneath the opening in the reflector.

The device is attached to the lamp by passing it up over the same andadjusting the screws or other clamping devices upon the shade-ringsecured to the lamp-socket.

Having described my invention, 1 claim- 1. The combination of areflector and a guard for the light or lamp, the guard being rigidlysecured to the reflector, as described.

2. As a new article of manufacture, a reflector or shade rigidly securedto a cage or guard, the whole being provided with attaching devices forsecuring it to a lamp.

3. A lamp reflector or shade having an opening large enough to admit alamp, in combination with a guard for said lamp rigidly secured to thereflector, as setforth.

i. A lamp reflector or shade having an opening large enough to admit alamp, in combination with a guard for said lamp rigidly secured to thereflector directly in front of the opening in said reflector.

In witness whereof I have hereunto signed my name in the presence of twosubscribing witnesses.

CHARLES A. COOLEY.
